Re: Craigieburn.
just come back from taking dogs for a walk around the new oval. As stated in previous posts looks great all turf has been laid, and was being watered at the time ( has recycled water supply ) I would say give it another four to six weeks for the turf to establish itself had it will be good to go. Forget if i read this in the annual report or the local newspaper but a planned opening day is being planned for mid to late january

Re: Craigieburn.
The gym you saw TB was the public gym. The Hawks have there own gym upstairs which is twice as good. They also have a 3/4 basketball size court where they do indoor training, with a massive screen which has a goal kicking simulator. In the basement they have their own pool. Quite spectacular. You are right on the oval, it is an awesome surface.
Hopefully between the Punt Rd redevelopment and Craigieburn will we get somewhere near this standard.

Definately in need of a water.
Don't need any rock hard surfaces to train on given our history of stress related injuries.
On the upside another week of no water and our NT players will be right at home, playing on a dust bowl with no grass

The turf has just recently been laid. Not going to be thick and lush for a few more weeks yet. I am sure it is being watered adequately.
O.K, I went and visited a friend who is home with a fresh baby (The friend got a 09 membership from hubby for Chrissy, women and Ben Cousins....what has he got?)
Aaanyway, she gave me the lowdown on the new ground, and I dropped in on the way home. It is situated on the Grand Rd extension, on Melway map 386 K3. Grand Rd is only finished to just past the oval, you can't miss it.
The turf is down, sprinklers were sprinkling and the goal posts are in.......can't wait to wander over and watch the Tiges run thru some preseason moves.
